SCALE THE FUTURE OF SATCOM. JOIN THE INNOVATORS!

At Lite Coms, we don’t just manufacture satellite terminals—we engineer the advantage for the tactical edge. Our work sits at the intersection of rugged hardware and intelligent software, creating solutions that define the future of modern communications. We exist for the “what if” and the “what’s next,” rethinking how systems are built to ensure our customers never lose their link.

One Team. One Goal. One Link.

Recognized as a fast-growing technology innovator, Lite Coms operates at the intersection of advanced software and cutting-edge hardware. We design and deliver intelligent, software-defined solutions that push the boundaries of modern communications technology.

At Lite Coms, we challenge convention by rethinking how systems are built and how performance is achieved. Our work in hard tech combines real-world products with deep engineering expertise, precision manufacturing, and breakthrough scientific insight. It is complex, demanding, and highly rewarding.

If you are driven by innovation and want to work on technology that truly makes an impact, explore our current opportunities. We would be excited to connect with you.

JOB TITLE: Electrical Engineer

DEPARTMENT: Engineering

Reports to: Director, Electrical Engineering

FLSA Status: Exempt

Salary Range: $80,000 – $110,000 based on experience and an additional annual bonus 

Position Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Electrical Engineer to design, develop, test, release, improve, and support advanced satellite communication products. This role provides broad exposure across system architecture, hardware design, manufacturing, and product lifecycle engineering with a customer experience focus.

You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams including mechanical, software, RF, test and manufacturing to develop new communication systems and continuously improve existing platforms. Engineers in this role have significant ownership and are directly involved in rapidly developing and delivering production-ready hardware — not just prototypes, through fielding and customer support.

This position is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving complex technical problems in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment, working across multiple engineering disciplines, and seeing their designs transition into real-world fielded systems.
